Oh, for HMs in Spork, you won't need to have a Pokemon learn the move, you'll just need to have the HM. Your player character will use the move. The only exception is Fly since there's no overworld obstacle for Fly and it can only be activated from the party screen with a Pokemon that knows it. Yes, it's safe to save inside the gyms.

Melia said Tesla is the sixth member. So if 1-4 are the gatekeepers and 5-8 are the hidden E4, Tesla would be one of the hidden.

I somehow forgot Tepig even though I'm currently working on the part of Virima beyond the bridge where the Tepig are fighting XD I brought up breeders with SPB. They won't be removed from Legend Mode, but they will have changes both in normal and legend. For both, their levels will be reduced and they'll have moves that can damage the player instead of Healing Wish. In legend mode, the amount of EXP gained from defeating Audino will also be reduced.

Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Chimchar, Piplup, and Froakie. Charmander's event will be in episode 5. (Part of Squirtle's event already exists, but can't be completed currently as the player needs Surf for that which will be obtained in ep 3) I responded to the level cap thought in a previous post where it was suggested: "I've been against using a level cap for Spork since before development started. I also don't think I should include one after an episode of the game has already released, as this could punish players who started before the level cap was implemented if they have Pokemon that would end up being above the level cap. This happened to me in another fangame called Full Moon, which added a level cap after 6 episodes (8 gyms) in. My Pokemon were in the mid-70s when the level cap was added, while the level cap for the 8th gym was either 60 or 65 (I don't remember which). If I ever did decide to include a level cap, I would make it optional." The breeders are in case people have battled all the available trainers and are still underleveled. After episode 3 is released though there'll be a Legend Mode shortly after, and I'm glad you mentioned breeders since things will probably need to be done with them for Legend Mode, like reducing Audino's EXP, having them putting up a fight instead of only using Healing Wish, or removing them entirely, etc. and I actually hadn't considered that before. I'll bring this up with SPB.

If it's like season 1, there is no close date. You can sign up whenever until the season ends.

Shelly's is Volbeat. Hardy's could be either Gigalith or Lunatone and Solrock. On his trainer cards for the online league, I've seen both next to him on cards.

Team Crescent isn't meant to be a ripoff of Madara. This has come up several times in the thread and Caz has said he doesn't like Naruto. IIRC it was inspired more by Inception.

I saw Curious Cacturne when he was on the "Newest Member" part of the forum index. . o .

Every non-legendary Gen 1-6 first form Pokemon + Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio can be obtained as a starter. The rest of the non-legendary first form Gen 7 Pokemon will be available as starters too in episode 3.

There are a few locations you can find him in, each at a specific time of day. To battle him, you need to find him at all the locations. I don't remember which time of day corresponds to which location, but here's where you can find him: -library of the gym -Wispy Tower -inside the Odd House

That's the last we see of her for now. You won't find her if you go back to Goldenleaf. You can find and battle the reserve Ghost leader though.

The only Dawn Stone I know of is for a bonus battle available after doing a sidequest which is located after Amber.

If you send me your save file, I'd be willing to give you all the Pokemon you lost back, with their movesets and natures too if you remember them.

At the endgame when we reach level 100, will the final battles be at level 100 regardless of difficulty mode? Wondering because in Casual, Madame X's Yveltal is at level 90.

Not currently, but there's an NPC in episode 3 who sells them and the rest of the EV-enhancing items.

Ohhh, ok. I tend to forget that exists since I didn't even do it my first time through, and only did it later for the glasses then moved the whole Aventurine Woods area to the back of my mind. Sometimes I forget there's a part of the woods between exiting Tanzan and reaching Route 1.

Clearing the spider webs is a Rejuvenation gym puzzle.

I can't comment on difficulty because everyone will have a different experience depending on how their teams and strategies match up with the opponents, but I wanted to say I agree about the chess puzzle. If it weren't for Lostelle's Youtube walkthrough of it, I would've had to send someone my save file to do it for me. El offers explanations for how chess and the pieces work, but to someone who knows literally nothing about chess (and has no interest in it), it's a lot to memorize. Ame said she kind of regrets this puzzle because when she made it she assumed more people would have played chess.

If the Black Foxes didn't use any fox Pokemon: Lack Foxes.

Oh, I assumed getting Waterfall from Aster and getting the Shiny Charm were part of the same story split event.

Wait, how did you get Waterfall if you said no every time you were asked for the ring and haven't done this before? I read on the forums that Aster gives you Waterfall if you don't get it from Blake. Or was that changed in E16?

In E16 the Silver Ring was changed from a regular item to a key item. Silver Rings obtained pre-E16 no longer work because of this. You'll need someone to delete the Silver Ring from your save file and then re-add it.
